He is right about that. You know it
At least I came up with a source. Again, that was just a speculation. In fact, the matter was discussed in this very forum.

I sure you'd have fun discussing there and proving the source wrong.
The PLAAF do operate many SU-30s after all.
*sigh*
Your sources are garbage and not from mainstream reputable publications, such as GlobalSecurity, AviationWeek, or Australia Air Power. You know their garbage, because the information is dead wrong.
If you keep posting crap like "China is buying T-50 from Russia" after nine months of J-20 tests, I'll keep exposing your stupidity.
You're an idiot, because the information (that China declined to join Russia's stealth fighter project) is at least two years old. If you're clueless, shut the hell up and stop spreading misinformation.

Secondly, it is ludicrous to post cartoons to refute real photographs and analyses of the J-20 Mighty Dragon. If you want to make a point, post real photographs and meaningful insights (see below).
From my August 25, 2011 post:
Tailless J-20 Mighty Dragon is superior to F-22 Raptor canardless design
J-20 Mighty Dragon has canard winglets, but no tailplanes.
F-22 Raptor has no canards, but it has tailplane winglets.
From a stealth design perspective, there is no effective difference between placing two little winglets (i.e. canards) in front of the main wings or behind them (i.e. tailplanes).
However, from a maneuverability standpoint, the J-20 Mighty Dragon canards provide it with super maneuverability. The F-22 Raptor tailplanes merely provide stability. This is understandable because the F-22 is a much older design. Aerospace engineers have a better understanding of stealth design today than twenty years ago.
In conclusion, the J-20 Mighty Dragon is a superior evolutionary design of its chronological F-22 predecessor.
